POINTS OF INTEREST<br />
As a Pastor, what gives you satisfaction that you<br />
are in the right direction, that you are doing<br />
something right?<br />
When I see the fruits… I have passion for ministry<br />
so I don’t doubt that I have a calling for it. Like<br />
in my current assembly I don’t earn a salary, but<br />
I believe in investing in people. The best investment<br />
is investment in people. You establish the<br />
work and the work you are doing must be appreciated.<br />
It doesn’t come easy so you need to<br />
grow the work. But I get so much fulfilled after<br />
ministering, and the fulfilment I get is more than<br />
a salary. So seeing fruits is fulfilling. I believe in<br />
the process. If you look at my history its mostly<br />
process. So I believe that even in ministry you<br />
must establish the work.<br />
third year there was just a serious turn around in<br />
his life. He is now at UJ. So when I see these<br />
young people discover themselves and<br />
achieve something, I am motivated. I believe<br />
that you are not only touching the mind of a<br />
child but also the spirit.<br />
You take students from different institutions and<br />
different backgrounds, and they join students<br />
here with a different attitude. What do you do to<br />
bring them to the same attitude level?<br />
We set standards and we are very strict. Like<br />
with the Cambridge curriculum there is no automatic<br />
promotion. You must pass the grade you<br />
are in for you to proceed to grade 12. So that<br />
motivates them. They know that you get the external<br />
examination in grade 11 and if you do<br />
not make it, you cannot proceed to grade 12.<br />
Are you teaching any classes at the moment?<br />
I do a lot of guidance and counselling. I call it<br />
character education, something that is missing<br />
in education. There is a saying that ‘talent must<br />
not take you where character cannot sustain<br />
you’. I believe that character is very important<br />
because you have a lot of people with talent<br />
but lack character.<br />
You have such passion for students who attend<br />
your school to achieve great heights, what motivates<br />
that?<br />
I believe every child has got potential that has<br />
not been tapped. It’s like sitting on a gold mine<br />
and some students don’t discover it. Some students<br />
even get surprised with themselves. So,<br />
when one discovers that ‘this is how I’m wired<br />
and this is the potential I have’, that drives me.<br />
For example, there was one young man who<br />
enrolled at our school but, he had serious disciplinary<br />
problems and the parents had given up<br />
on him. He moved from one school to another.<br />
For two years we struggled with him, but in the<br />
The book of Acts 2:17-19; says that in the last<br />
days my sons and daughters will prophesy.<br />
There is a lot of prophecy happening now and a<br />
lot of prophets … what are we to make of all<br />
this?<br />
These are trying and difficult times. One needs<br />
discernment. The fact that one prophesies does<br />
not mean that they are genuine. The prophetic<br />
attracts crowd, but people must discern, not<br />
only discernment but teaching. There is need<br />
for more teaching about the prophetic . The<br />
Lord warns ‘Test spirits’(1John 4:1).False prophets<br />
have gone out and many are being deceived.<br />
People have real problems and need<br />
solutions ;in the desperation they are deceived.<br />
The word clearly says that ‘you shall know them<br />
by their fruits’. Some have the gift but not the<br />
fruit the fruit. So before one even goes to the<br />
‘man of God’ they need to check their lives.<br />
There are genuine shepherds, and people<br />
should be covered by sound ministries.<br />
